All at once, Samantha didn't think she'd be this aware at any other time in her life. It was like everything had been reduced to one split second, when she felt her body light up in rushing warmth at the question Tor proposed to her.
She knew she shouldn't think, but before she could stop herself her mind was racing years into the future. So engrossing was her anticipation of everything ahead of this moment she had almost forgotten the man at her feet, grinning at the look on her face.
"Samantha?" he asked, the smile beginning to waver in doubt.
"Yes," she blurted, falling to her knees and wrapping her arms around him as the world came rushing back. He pulled her to him and laughed against her neck.
"I could sing from a mountaintop now, Sammy," he said.
"Silly man," Samantha laughed, and kissed him as they tumbled to the lawn.
